Thanks a lot! Saved me the trouble of searching! :-) However, it should be emphasized that this is a pre-print, it could have changed substantially when going through peer-review.

Also, folks, don't slashdot the site unless you know a bit about cosmology (if you don't know what I'm talking about when I say "line element" forget it) - this is a site that is very important for physicists in their daily work.
